Baddoo produced an RBI triple in the first inning to help fuel Detroit’s early lead; his blend of power and speed, plus defensive versatility, keeps him in fantasy discussions for outfield depth and potential breakout in 2025-26.

Akil Baddoo has been called up to replace Jace Jung, bringing versatility and experience back to the Tigers' roster. His previous contributions make him a valuable asset as the team aims for a playoff push.

Akil Baddoo is recovering from a hand injury and surgery, limiting his chances for the Opening Day roster amidst ongoing injuries to other outfielders.

Akil Baddoo's surgery for a fractured hamate bone will keep him out at least until the regular season begins, further complicating an already crowded outfield situation for the Tigers. He had a disappointing 2022 season, hitting just .137.

To accommodate Alex Cobb on the 40-man roster, Akil Baddoo was designated for assignment, indicating a significant roster move as the Tigers look to strengthen their pitching staff for the upcoming season.
